A partial list of some of the coolest moms of science fiction and fantasy:- Molly Weasley (Harry Potter)
- Catelyn Stark (Song of Ice and Fire)
- Mrs. Murry (A Wrinkle in Time)
- Queen Ramonda (Black Panther)
- Tenar (Earthsea)
- Alana (Saga)
- Essun (The Broken Earth)
Consider this whole thread a #MSWL
I want stories about good moms and bad moms, dedicated moms and indifferent moms, moms who move mountains for their kids and moms who do amazing things in spite of having kids.
All these women existed—and continue to exist.
Happy #MothersDay.

Love and passion in a heartwarming tale for foodies. The Hundred-Foot Journey meets Chocolat but with more sex. #MSWL

Honestly I want more political fantasy about mothers as heroes orchestrating the rise of their children to power. It happens in history all the time. These women’s stories deserve to be told with magic and hecking dragons.Ooo this. I want this. #mswl

Mom’s never get enough love in fiction. Particularly not SFF. They’re always dead or dying or gone. This is often to give character’s agency because they KNOW their real mothers wouldn’t let them go traipsing off killing dragons.Have a SFF where the MC is a mom? I want to see it. #mswl

I would read the hell out of the epic fantasy about the seamstress with magical power over threads and fabrics and wool and how her gift captures the pickpocket's eye and she gets swept up into a plot to overthrow the corrupt king during the huge annual market fair twitter.com/aoiph/status/9…

Thanks to @NickRossOrch my Saturday night #mswl is a YA set in the heyday of big band music with deep knowledge of all the tunes and star turns from famous faces. Someone make it happen, please? 🎼🎵🎶

You guys. I saw an aesthetics board for "Young Minerva McGonogall" and now I have a mighty, mighty need! Gimme a mystery-solving young witch in early 1900's wizarding school please please please 😍 #MSWLOMG yes! Would especially love it if it's a mystery romance featuring a young POC mystery-solving Bruja in a wizarding school in South America. #MSWL
